Joanne,
Frances was not John's third wife as I have a copy of his Rev. pension application and it shows his widow as Elizabeth.
I am a descendent of William by John's first wife. We are unsure at this point if she was Frances Hale or Mary Roberts. I tend to go for Mary Roberts.either way, many of John's children along with his Grandson Campbell Wallen ( son of William and my ancestor) settled in at the foot of Pigeon Mountain in an area called McClemore's Cove in Walker County GA. There is not a county in Tennessee called McMinnville county. McMinnville TN is in Warren County TN and there is nothing that states any part of this family was ever in that area. Mcminn County is just above Hamilton County and this is the area that this family lived in prior to moving to GA. Some info shows them in one of these two counties.
As for the cause of John's wife's death. The letter clearly states that she was murdered by Indians. The other document concerns another attack on John's home where his second wife was not harmed.
I was in contact two years ago with a man who stated he decended from Elisha, son of John but have since lost contact with him. I would like to hope that we do find descendents of this Elisha as well as a sister of him and my William.
John born 1750 was definately a brother to Elisha The Longhunter and not a son. There was many many of these Wallens in Scott and Lee County named John, Elisha and Joseph and it can be confusing to say the least.
In the court document concerning Thomas Bishop, it was this John born 1750 that he was making a statement about so that is why we are excited that maybe a daughter did survive. Nothing in the letter that Henry wrote made it sound as any one else but Mrs Wallen was killed.
I will be happy to share more info with you about this John if you like
Linda Sue
